Veneers fix front teeth, whiten teeth, close spaces and create a great smile. Bay SF Dental concentrates on fixing spaces between the teeth, broken or chipped teeth, stained or washed-out fillings, stained or discolored teeth.
Porcelain veneers are instant procedure for orthodontics to straighten smiles, close spaces, reshape, and minor realignment of a patients teeth. Veneers are thin and bonded on the front of your anterior teeth (Your centrals, laterals, and cuspids. These are the teeth in the front of your mouth).
Dentists use some of the same techniques to bond plastic resins for smile corrections. They have a natural strength, beauty, and durability of healthy teeth. Veneers have
several advantages over crowns (caps). There is no "dark line" that is sometimes seen with older front caps. They transmit light better and, therefore, have a more translucent appearance giving a natural, esthetic look. Veneers do not require the massive grinding of tooth structure that caps do, yet, they accomplish a life like esthetic result.
Dr. Nancy Khalaf specializing in cosmetic dentistry will examine your teeth and establish what can or can not be done at your first appointment. This appointment usually involves some minor contouring of the front teeth and taking an impression of the teeth. The veneers are placed in, and, if satisfactory, they are bonded in place.
A follow up visit is made in a weeks time upon which Dr. Nancy Khalaf may also combine whitening / bleaching with porcelain veneers to make that your smile perfect. If some front teeth are badly broken down,
we can place porcelain crowns combined with veneers and other cosmetic techniques.
